Description

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Odysseus Chronograph, reference 165.7.30, is a good example of craftsmanship and technical innovation. 

Jaeger-LeCoultre, established in 1833 in Le Sentier, Switzerland, is one of the most revered names in horology. Known as the “watchmaker’s watchmaker,” the brand has consistently pushed the boundaries of mechanical timekeeping, producing countless patented innovations.

This Odysseus doctor`s Chronograph, introduced during the late 1980s, captures the spirit of the era with its blend of sophistication and functionality. This specific model, named after the Greek hero, reflects a sense of elegance and precision, designed for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and timeless aesthetics. 

The Odysseus line marked a departure for Jaeger-LeCoultre, integrating modern technology with traditional watchmaking in the form of the innovative caliber 630 mechaquartz movement.

At the heart of this timepiece lies the Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 630 mechaquartz, a hybrid movement that combines quartz accuracy with a mechanical chronograph module. This movement is highly regarded for its reliability, precision, and historical importance, as it represents a period when watchmakers embraced quartz technology without compromising mechanical artistry. The mechaquartz design ensures that the chronograph operates with the same tactile feedback as a fully mechanical movement and with the precision of a quartz movement. This movement`s compact size also allowed the manufacture of elegant-sized chronographs

This movement has been fully serviced by Jaeger LeCoultre SAV service center and is delivered with its factory guarantee till 11.2026

The case construction is solid, with attention to detail evident in its smooth curves and precise finishing. The caseback is secured with 4 screws and it is in an excellent condition

The dial is very legibile and with elegance. It has a crisp white laquered background with gold hour markers and gold-tone hands. The chronograph subdials, arranged in a compax layout, offer 30-minute, 60-second, and 12-hour counters, with the date window at 4:30. The outer pulsometer scale, printed in blue, highlight the dial`s capability for heart-rate measurements. The dial is in excellent condition.
